The Bayh-Dole Act and High-Technology Entrepreneurship in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s
Introduction Assessments of the economic contributions of high-technology entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship to U.S. economic growth and competitiveness have shifted somewhat since the 1980s. During the 1990s, the era of the “New Economy,” numerous observers hailed the resurgent economy in the United States as an illustration of the power of high-technology entrepreneurship. The new firms that a decade earlier had been criticized by such authorit…
Innovation through Time
The discussion in this article highlights changes in the structure of the innovation process in successive periods, and is informed by the innovation system concept. In adopting this framework, this article focuses on the changing structure of economic activity, changes in relevant institutions, and changes in patterns of knowledge generation and flows within emergent industrial economies. This article begins by reviewing recent historical interp…
Universities in National Innovation Systems
This article examines the roles of universities in industrial-economy national innovation systems, the complex institutional landscapes that influence the creation, development, and dissemination of innovations. The inclusion of a article on university research in a volume on innovation is itself an innovation—it is likely that a similar handbook published two decades ago would have devoted far less attention to the role of universities in indust…
The Oxford Handbook of Innovation
Innovation spans a number of fields within the social sciences and humanities: management, economics, geography, sociology, policy studies, psychology, and history. Consequently, the rapidly increasing body of literature on innovation is characterized by a multitude of perspectives based on, or cutting across, existing disciplines and specializations. Scholars of innovation can come from such diverse starting points that much of this literature c…

The Use of USPTO “Continuation” Applications in the Patenting of Software
This paper examines the role played by “continuations” (procedural revisions of patent applications) within software patenting and the implications that the use by patentees of continuations has for free and open‐source software design. Our research analyzes data on continuations in software patenting 1987–99, providing information on the effects of changes made to the U.S. patent laws in 1995 intended to curb “submarine patenting.” Our analysis …
The growth of patenting and licensing by U.S. universities
Strategic alliances and interfirm knowledge transfer
This paper examines interfirm knowledge transfers within strategic alliances. Using a new measure of changes in alliance partners' technological capabilities, based on the citation patterns of their patent portfolios, we analyze changes in the extent to which partner firms' technological resources ‘overlap’ as a result of alliance participation. This measure allows us to test hypotheses from the literature on interfirm knowledge transfer in allia…
The Political Economy of Deficit Spending in Nine Industrialized Parliamentary Democracies
This article analyzes the influence of four sets of factors on deficit spending in 9 industrialized parliamentary democracies during 1958-1990. This article analyzes the influence of these factors and introduces and tests the importance of an additional potential influence on the size of a country's fiscal deficit: the “strength of fiscal bureaucracy.” It is argued that the stronger a country's fiscal bureaucracy, the lower its deficit, ceteris p…

Influences on Deficit Spending in Industrialized Democracies
Since 1945, there has been substantial variation among the OECD countries and within them over time in central-government deficits. This paper surveys and assesses the literature on deficit spending in these industrialized democracies, emphasizing positive theories and the empirical support, or lack thereof, for each of them. We begin by considering the degree to which theories about the size of government and empirical tests of these theories ab…
Institutions Matter
This article analyzes the post-World War II deficit experiences of the United States and Japan. Four potential explanations of the size of the central government deficit in these two countries are examined: the influence of the economy; the influence of the party in power; Roubini and Sachs's (1989a and 1989b) strength-of-government hypothesis; and the irresponsible Congress/responsible president hypothesis (relevant only to the United States). A…

The U. S. National Innovation System
A descriptive analysis of the U.S. national innovation “system” is a gargantuan task, made all the more ambitious by our efforts to begin this discussion in the early twentieth century. We then examine the pre-World War II and postwar U.S. innovation “systems.” In the introductory and the concluding sections of the paper, we summarize some of the elements that appear to distinguish this national innovation system from those of other industrial an…
Modeling U.S. Budgetary and Fiscal Policy Outcomes
This paper develops and estimates a model of U.S. federal budgetary outcomes that allows for considerable disaggregation across spending categories while providing, through cross-equation coefficient restrictions, substantially more statistical power than traditional approaches. We identify significant top-down fiscal policy effects on budgetary allocations primarily within the defense budget. Budgetary responses to macroeconomic conditions are g…

U. S. Defense Spending under the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act, 1986-1989
How did the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act (GRH) impact on U.S. defense spending? Focusing on defense spendingfrom 1986-1989, Sung Deuk Hahm, Mark Kamlet, and David Moweryfound defense spending to be lower than it would have been without GRH. GRH partially, but not completely, returned defense spending priorities and defense-fiscalpolicy linkages to theirpreReagan status. GRH restrained expenditures by a similar percentage in all of the functional def…

Influences on Executive and Congressional Budgetary Priorities, 1955-1981
A reduced form equation system is used to analyze the influence of economic, political, and institutional influences on the budgetary priorities of the executive branch and Congress during fiscal 1955-81. Three related issues are considered: the extent to which political and macroeconomic factors affect priorities; the degree of interdependence among the components of the federal budget and between spending and revenues; and differences between t…

The Budgetary Base in Federal Resource Allocation
This paper examines the role of the budgetary base in the executive branch's federal budgetary process, focusing on the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The analysis calls into question a number of standard assumptions in the theory of governmental budgetary decision-making. These include the definition of the base, its immutability over the planning cycle, the functions that it serves, and the extent to which it, as opposed to the incremen…
Upsetting National Priorities
We use simulations based on a multiequation model of federal budgetary outcomes to assess the Reagan administrations impact on the federal budget during fiscal years 1982-86. Reagan's aggregate budget priorities represent a significant departure from the priorities of prior postwar administrations. The bulk of this shift in priorities had occurred by fiscal 1984. Defense spending and uncontrollable domestic spending were higher, and spending on d…
Firm Structure, Government Policy, and the Organization of Industrial Research
An important factor in the poor performance of the British economy in the twentieth century is the low level of investment by British firms in research and development. In this article, Professor Mowery compares the development of industrial research in Great Britain and the United States between 1900 and 1950, focusing on the reasons for the much lower levels of industrial research investment in Britain. He concludes that the substantial British…
Industrial Research and Firm Size, Survival, and Growth in American Manufacturing, 1921–1946
The literature on the development of American industrial research suggests that during the twentieth century large firms “dominated” industrial research, and reaped the majority of the benefits from such activity. This paper utilizes new data to analyze both the relationship between firm size and research employment and the impact of research activity on firm growth and survival during 1921–1946. The results suggest that large firms were no more …
Presidential Management of Budgetary and Fiscal Policymaking
Since the appearance of Neustadt's work on the presidency in 1960, the works of Allison, Halperin, Kanter, and others have developed an important intellectual approach to the study of the presidency that views the occupant of the White House as a person embedded in an organizational, rather than an exclusively political, context. I Presidents preside at the apex of a complex structure with important intraorganizational politics; they may persuade…

Budgetary Side Payments and Government Growth
The model of government growth developed by Niskanen focuses on the interaction between legislative politician and executive bureaucrat. However, an explanation of growth in federal expenditures requires that attention also be paid to the interaction of agency bureaucrats and executive branch politicians, rather than concentrating exclusively on executive-legislative relations. This report analyzes the phenomenon of budgetary by which the Office …

Technical change in the commercial aircraft industry, 1925–1975
Judged by almost any criterion of performance–growth in output, exports, productivity, or product innovation–the commercial aircraft industry must be considered a star performer in the American economy. American commercial aircraft dominate airline fleets the world over, and the air transportation industry, a primary beneficiary of technical progress in commercial aircraft, has compiled an unequaled record of productivity growth since 1929. Along…
The influence of market demand upon innovation
Introduction Until quite recently, economists devoted little attention to the factors that influence the rate and direction of innovation. Much of the formal economic theory on technical change is really concerned with the description of the consequences of technological innovation at a very high level of aggregation or abstraction. (We have in mind here the works of such economists as Harrod, Hicks and Denison.) Little consideration has been pai…
